My grand mother was from Wolf Island, She was Emma Lacey who married Otis W. Robertson from Cape Vincent, NY. They were married in 1900. I used to visit the island when I was a child. We went to a family reunion that was held in the church yard. I can still remember a little about the inside of the church.Are there any Laceys or Mackeys still living on the island? I took a ride around the island sometime in the 1990′s. But we didn’t stop and go into any places. I now wish I had gone in the church. My cousin Helen Netto visits there from Watertown, NY. I am now living in Suffolk, Virginia. I would love to know more about the island and my grandmother’s people.

Comment on Mina Hintze (Minnie Wernse) by paula

Hi Howard,

Thanks for contacting me. Your information is helpful, thank you! I have the same census listing from 1880 that shows a Mary Kielhorn living with Wm. and Minnie (nee Hintze) Wernse. It said “cousin” but I assumed it was a relation on the Wernse side. Now, from what you tell me, Mary is most probably Minnie’s first cousin, her father’s sister’s daughter. The Sophia listed is Minnie’s mother. Are you researching Wernse or Kielhorn? I still have nothing on Minnie’s family, other than her mother’s name. Perhaps your added info will add some clues.

You may write me via my email address:

Thanks Howard!

Paula,

I dropped in for a visit, as you’d mentioned having been working on this during one of your blog postings. I must say, I’m quite impressed! You’ve managed to come up with so much, and what you’ve scripted is so very informative. Great work!

I’ve (over time) many times attempted to find anything on my ancestors…but no luck. As those before my own parents immigrated from other countries, it has been quite difficult. I would love to find even a fraction of what you’ve compiled here.
Terrific!

HI Paula;
I have been in touch with Scott Manning. His grandfaather and my father were half brothers. Archibald Staley was married twice. Austin from the 1st family was Scott’s grandfather. My father’s name was Edwin in the 2nd family. I have enjoyed reading all your findings. Scott has been an excellent source for me. I am presently putting together all the info. I have for my kids. This past summer I put a picture story together including Martin Staley. He sure was busy with 16 children 14 which survived.I had 2 brothers and they had 6 children and 4 children. All but 1 living in California. Barb Manning who is Austin’s youngest is now 81. She now rents a cottage and goes back to the Island every year. We joined her last year and paid a visit to the old homstead presently been used by the Demmings. Evelyn Staley married Dr. Demming. They bought the place from Nellie [Archibald's 2nd wife.] My grandmother. So more stuff. Hope you enjoy this banter.
Regards,
Sheila

Hi Judy,

I can’t say I did notice any French settlements in the area, but that doesn’t mean their aren’t. My g-g-grandmother was French and was in the area so there must have been some. Were your relations out of Quebec or France originally? I still need to do some research on my French gr-grandmother. Good luck and I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Hi Sharon,

I hope you get a chance to visit Wolf Island and see the area and where are ancestors lived. Is Mary Ann buried on Wolf Island? You will find a lot of info on our Grandfather Martin Staley on the links I have (plus what I have reiterated). Good luck on finding info on your gg-grandad Rawley!
